Routledge Prologue to Education (RLE Edu K) - Philosophy Book

Explore a fresh perspective on educational theory with Prologue to Education (RLE Edu K): An Inquiry into Ends and Means. Published by Routledge, this work addresses the stagnation in British educational debates, moving beyond the tired arguments between conventional and progressive or selective and comprehensive models. The author argues that these polarizations are often unrealistic and can be damaging to the field. As former religious sanctions lose their influence, this book proposes the necessity of a new educational ethic. By utilizing the concept of a Rational Good, the text provides a foundation for both theory and practice in modern schooling. Readers will find a deep investigation into the fundamental questions of what education should achieve and how it can be implemented effectively in a changing social landscape. This volume is a significant addition to the Routledge Library Editions: Education series, offering academic depth for students and professionals looking to understand the philosophical roots of educational systems.
